Belinda, Nancy, Deborah & Debbie

Great food... we'll be back!

Six made it out to paint at Elmwood Cemetery today. We feared rain but it turned out to be a beautiful day for all of us but next time someone's got to remember bug spray! Summer is here and so are the hungry bugs. And speaking of hunger... if you want a great quick meal, with wonderful smiling service and atmosphere... go to the Cedar Tavern Restaurant. Ask for Tabitha.
